Taxing food off my table

Sun., Dec. 9, 2018

I am appalled at the tax increase we are about to incur. For $3.60 per $1,000 is absurd for taxpayers to pay.

It reminds me of Hitler, who said this is my last demand as he took over yet another country. I am on a fixed income as well as many others. Where are we to come up with the extra expense? Buy less food or skip medications? Dog food looks good right now! Or not to heat our homes? I am disabled and already have to rely on others for help with chores. Something has to go.
